University of Massachusetts-Lowell

What are the graduation rates for students at University of Massachusetts-Lowell?

UMass Lowell's reported six-year graduation rate is 65% for the relevant first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort. Its four-year rate is 44%. These measures follow groups of entering students for different lengths of time; they are not a prediction that any individual student will or will not graduate.

The reported first-year retention rate is 84%, meaning that most students in the measured first-time cohort returned the following fall. Standard graduation-rate measures do not describe every pathway equally well: transfer students and many part-time students have different starting points and timelines. A prospective transfer student should therefore ask about completion outcomes and course availability in the intended major, not rely on the first-time cohort rate alone.

What is the earning potential for graduates at University of Massachusetts-Lowell?

Federal College Scorecard program figures offer a limited view of earnings roughly one year after degree completion. They generally describe median earnings for federally aided graduates with measurable earnings in a particular field - not the pay of every graduate, an entry-level salary offer, or a guaranteed result.

Reported examples include about $73,995 for computer science and $66,950 for registered nursing. The corresponding figure for business administration is about $46,402. Differences can reflect occupation, location, further study, hours worked, and the graduates included in each measure. Students comparing programs should consider these figures alongside program costs, potential debt, career interests, and outcomes measured over a longer period.
